bakerskyline8 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 11/13/2014 01:58 am I purchased this coin on ebay because it looked interesting. I paid next to nothing for it and I wanted to get your opinions on it. There is weakness on the neckline of the Indian head as well as the date. There also seems to be weakness in the same area on the shield on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

bakerskyline8 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 11/13/2014 1:41 pm I only paid $3 for the coin, so I'm glad I picked it up. Would it carry any sort of premium? Report this Post to the Staff
Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 11/13/2014 3:38 pm Strike-through grease specimens never command a premium in the IHC or FEC series. If anything, it makes them less desirable because it robs the coin of its detail. Good buy though, and thanks for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff
